REPORT:

Chairwoman Seijas requested that Deputy County Manager Pedro Hernandez prepare a report on the impact of using the “expedite procedures” for the capital repairs and rehabilitation of the Highland Oaks Fire Rescue Station, what the impact would be on the expedite process budget already established, and whether other fire stations currently budgeted would be delayed.

TITLE

RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CAPITAL REPAIR AND REHABILITATION OF THE HIGHLAND OAKS FIRE RESCUE STATION AND AFFIRMING COUNTY MANAGER'S DELEGATED AUTHORITY TO UTILIZE THE "EXPEDITE" PROCEDURES OF SECTIONS 2-8.2.6 AND 2-8.2.7 OF THE MIAMI-DADE COUNTY CODE RELATING TO CONTRACTS FOR SUCH PROJECT

BODY

WHEREAS, the Board has approved various ordinances to expedite the procurement of improvements, goods and services for all County departments, as provided in Sections 2-8.2.6 and 2-8.2.7 of the Code of Miami-Dade County, Florida ("Expedite Ordinance"); and
WHEREAS, the Expedite Ordinance authorizes the County Manager to advertise, negotiate and award contracts and other agreements as identified in the approved annual capital budget (Proposed Capital Budget and Multi-Year Capital Plan) or included in this process by resolution of this Board; and
WHEREAS, this authorization has reduced the time to advertise competitive bids and award a qualifying project's design and construction by at least six months, thereby resulting in significant efficiencies in the construction of County projects; and
WHEREAS, there are some funded capital improvement construction projects, associated agreements, and unanticipated but funded capital repair or rehabilitation projects that are not individually identified in the approved annual capital budget that would otherwise not qualify for expeditious treatment under the Expedite Ordinance; and
WHEREAS, the Expedite Ordinance anticipates such need and provides for the inclusion of such projects under this expedited process if approved by resolution of the Board,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA, that this Board authorizes the capital repair and rehabilitation of the Highland Oaks Fire Rescue Station and affirms the County Manager's delegated authority to utilize the "expedite" procedures of Sections 2-8.2.6 and 2-8.2.7 of the Miami-Dade County Code relating to contracts for such project.
